jcscoob Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 Think you need to tidy up the underside it should look like this sorry, but why would the under side of his car need to be painted black on day 1 of a project.
Skidmarkmccormack Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 sorry, but why would the under side of his car need to be painted black on day 1 of a project. i agree. and why would you post up a car that has clearly driven through road works and only cleaned the tar off the gucci bits. good luck with your project mate. kepp the pics coming.
sma01 Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 looking good mate, be keen to hear how you get on with your 2.1, my car down with alan just now to get the same 1 fitted.... scott
green_goblin Posted September 8, 2009 Author Posted September 8, 2009 (edited) Cheers for all the comments Well today i got the heads all off and packaged up...then sent them away to Alan Jeffery to go over then fit to my new block i removed the coilovers from the front and changed the springs from 5kg to 6kg, tomorrow will be putting the 5kg springs on to the back shockers. Got the brakes all bled and a H-brace fitted also, but the H-brace didnt fit great....had to slot one of the hole a bit to get it fitted!! has anyone else had this problem?? sma01.......will keep you posted on how it all goes!! when do u get your car back?? Jase Edited September 8, 2009 by green_goblin
lumsden26 Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 is that leather seats i spotted? where did you get the trim from???
green_goblin Posted September 8, 2009 Author Posted September 8, 2009 is that leather seats i spotted? where did you get the trim from??? It certainly is It came with the car when i bought it so not sure were it came from, sorry
hi_jac Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 Loving the big 8 pot bad boys. Looking good Jase
arch Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 I used to have one fitted and had similar issues I didnt have to slot the holes but it was a tight fit, I loosened the inner ALK bolts right off and the rear attachment to the arm even then it was tight. In the end I removed it as I expected to have to remove the gearbox frequently and didnt want the hassle of a geometry set up each time the box came out as you have to disturb the ALK to remove the brace
arch Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 i agree. and why would you post up a car that has clearly driven through road works and only cleaned the tar off the gucci bits.good luck with your project mate. kepp the pics coming. I havnt actually seen any road works where this car is driven but could make an interesting idea
green_goblin Posted September 9, 2009 Author Posted September 9, 2009 Well busy day today, removed the rear shocks and changed the springs to 5kg ones, totally re-cooped the rear brakes.....they were all rusted up so cleaned up the discs and sprayed them with clear heat paint, re-cooped the calipers and got it all nice!! removed the front bumper and removed the induction kit from under the bumper along with the intercooler pipes etc. After it was all re-cooped Disc's before Springs changed and all cleaned up and greased Well tomorrow im changing the clock sprin behind the steering wheel as its not working causing my horn not to work and airbag light to come on also!! Also will be putting heat wrap on my headers and starting cleaning up the inlet manifold etc. Jase
hi_jac Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Nice work Jase but you still haven't painted the underside black
